What’s a drop-in?

Drop-ins are a flexible support option offered during the Fall and Winter terms for students who want to ask questions about course material, access study resources, or work through specific course challenges. In addition to meeting with a mentor, students may use Microsoft Teams drop-in groups to connect with a community of like-minded peers and access course-based strategies, relevant updates, and other course or program-related resources. Unlike study groups, drop-ins are not structured presentations with prepared activities. Rather, they are open sessions tailored to student needs.

Course-specific support for all FHS schools:

• HSS – Health Sciences 
• NUT – Nutrition 
• APA – Human Kinetics 
• NSG – Nursing

How drop-ins help you

• Get targeted help in your course material at your own pace.
• Ask questions in a casual and supportive environment.
• Practice applying knowledge with guidance from experienced mentors.
• Explore effective study strategies and build confidence in your learning.

Your mentors:

• Are accomplished students who serve as role models and can be an important source of information and guidance.
• Make the most of campus support services and can help fellow students tap into these resources.
• Facilitate study groups, help you learn theory and concepts, but they are not tutors or teaching assistants.
• Are available during office hours to offer additional support to fellow students.
